Site: https://aligndentalcare.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/aligndentalcare.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Align Dental Care is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://aligndentalcare.ca/book-an-appointment/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1-604-566-6288

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Dentist, MedicalClinic, Physiotherapy or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No list of services and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they treat and what does it cost' from directories instead. Add a page with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.
